2. Slide the spacers onto the castor spindle to get the
desired height-of-cut; refer to the Height-of-Cut Chart,
page 14. Slide a thrust washer onto the spindle, push the
round castor spindle through the front castor arm and
the hexagon castor spindle through the rear castor arm.
Install another thrust washer and the remaining spacers
onto the spindle and install the tensioning cap to secure
the assembly.
Important The thrust washers, not the spacers, must
contact the top and bottom of the castor arm.
3. Ensure that all four castor wheels are set at the same
height-of-cut and roll the cutting unit off of the pallet.
